[[Liz Truss]], the former Prime Minister of the [[United Kingdom]], was caught on audio tape indicating that British workers lacked the "skill and application" of foreign nationals.<ref>[https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-62571016 Liz Truss accused of branding British workers lazy in leaked audio], BBC</ref> In response, the [[BBC]] published the news article Liz ''Truss accused of branding British workers lazy in leaked audio''<ref>[https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-62571016 Liz Truss accused of branding British workers lazy in leaked audio], BBC</ref>
In 2022, ''The Economist'' published the article [https://archive.md/LeOoB#selection-871.0-875.302 Britain’s productivity problem is long-standing and getting worse]. Evidently, many godless, slothful Brits are reluctant to upgrade their skills to meet the current demands of the marketplace or they are too broke or lazy to implement productivity producing technology. I mention poverty in relation to a lack of investment in productivity improving technology because lazy people are often broke!
''The Economist'' states: "But even if the frontier is slowing, there is no iron law that says Britain cannot move closer to it. Catching up with America’s level of labour productivity would mean that Britain’s gdp per person would be £6,600 higher, for example. And even if it is hard to pin down the exact sources of the productivity slowdown in the 2010s, it is easier to identify areas where Britain has to do better in future. They fall into three big categories: investment, people and the spread of knowledge."<ref>[https://archive.md/LeOoB#selection-871.0-875.302 Britain’s productivity problem is long-standing and getting worse]</ref>
